"When it rains, it pours..". This is a quote that has rang so true in my life lately. My family and I suffered another tragic loss recently...the loss of my uncle (my father's only brother). It was unexpected and literally knocked the wind out of me. I had just arrived back on the East Coast from being on travel, when I heard the news. Nothing could have prepared me for that type of homecoming. Through my tears, I have still been able to find comfort. Before I left for travel, I had a long convo with my uncle. We talked about life, him dating (or no dating as he put it LOL) and him wanting to start attending my church. That was the last time I would ever hear his voice. I felt so much sorrow for my grandma, because now she too knows what it feels like to loss a child. I told her that in time, the heartache that she feels will get easier to handle. She is a strong and faithful woman who keeps her trust in God.

It's a New Day
It's been forever (or so it seems) since I've last blogged. I guess I've had a case of writer's block. Well first off, Happy New Year and all that jazz! I hope you had a nice and safe holiday. This was my first Christmas & New Year without my son. I was dreading the holiday season since November. I didn't think I would be able to handle the holidays. For Christmas the only thing I wanted was to wake up and be happy...instead of crying and feeling sad all day. Thankfully, my Christmas day was a peaceful one. The days leading up to New Years Eve seemed to be harder for me than anticipating the holidays. I made it through it all though & for that I'm grateful.
I always say that life is such a precious gift. Tomorrow is never promised so it's important to tell those you care for how you feel. I did something I usually don't do and that was send out Christmas cards to a few close family and friends. I wanted to make a point to tell them just how much they mean to me..not just around the holidays. But everyday.

Hidden Treasures
I've been listening to this cd for a few weeks now. I loved it instantly. "A Song For You" plays on repeat in my car...If you're a fan of her music (or maybe you've never really been into her) check it out. You may enjoy it :)
Be Blessed.
